You can extinguish a fire with salt water.

Connect the sewage / storm water system to a few massive pumps and back flush everything.

Set off a few nukes in the bay to cause a tidal wave.

I’m no civil engineer / hydrologished, so there’s probably issues with my drive-by dismissal of a serious issue.

So yes, you can put out fires with salt water but its bad for any equipment that is currently being used * and it hurts the future plant life (salting the earth is an old method of hurting your enemies * ).

I love how you respond seriously to the logistical challenges of salt water, and don’t blink at the prospect of using nukes to create a tidal wave.

While we’re speaking about future plant life, it isn’t necessarily looking particularly good.

This is the most HN comment ever.

Aww thanks, you’re making me blush.

But I think the honorific goes to the Dropbox dismissal.
